Notes from the Planning Retreat

Communicate Becoming -> relationship building

New Member Assimilation – but don’t forget old members – link to all members

Use our prayers to motivate us into Action.

“Deacons” assigned to every family – regular weekly or monthly contact – pass on prayer needs, physical needs, etc.

Social Events – improve sense of community  Improve friendships

Small groups fellowship  (be sure to involve new members & regular visitors)

 Intentional “events” or ongoing networking of multi-generational ministry – ie. opportunities for adults, youth, & children to have “meaningful” interaction (on a regular basis)

Each person is seen & valued

Nurture our members so that they can nurture others

Notes from the 2nd Planning Session

Concentrate on "Community Building" within the congregation.

Role of the church in giving priorities to life (Rena action item)

• How can the church help in people's lives?

• Need to identify needs (basic concerns - what are you most concerned about in your family?)  (find a need and fill it)

• Need to do a community & congregation survey
  "Survey of the needs of the community sponsored by St. Andrews UMC"
